DVD Player region code and macrovision hack list Version 2003.12.07
3755 DVD Players in the list. 2444 DVD Players hacks based on 9252 user reported hacks.

This list is based from user reports and we have not verified or tested any hacks. Remember also that some DVD Players, like many Pioneer and Sony DVD Players, require some extra hardware to be able to be region hacked like a special remote control or similiar. Check with your locale DVD store if they have such hardware/mods or if they can modify it for you or view our links section for some online stores that have such.

To add a new hack just search for your DVD Player below here and click add hack, if your DVD Player is not in the list please add new DVD Players here.

What are region codes, country codes, or zone locks? Read the DVD Demystified FAQ section 1.10.

Region code hack posted by Karl James, January 19 2004:

I followed the instructions from DAvid JAmes posting and inserted the CD into the DVD (LG2000) player . The prompt came on to the screen and I selected "0" for multiregion and then ENTER. This results in the following error message being displayed:

Error 3
Invalid ID detected

I also went through the menu of the DVD player to the screen which shows the regional code as `GB`. It would appear that a 4-digit pass number is required to set another region. Does anyonje know this
